Let's keep reading! Chapter 134, "Dr. Kureha"!

Sanji and Luffy casually dodging the rabbit while talking about dumb bullshit is great. I like Luffy's theory that if you sleep in cold weather, you die. So you have a bed for when you're ready to die! THE DOCTOR WENT DOWN TO THE NEIGHBORING CITY. Hah, Cocoa Weed. Oh hey, Chopper, I recognize him! He's... Not as cute as I remember, though. Dr. Kureha looks rad, though. Holy poo poo he delivers shots by ramming into children. Okay Dr Kureha rules.

Whoa, that's a lotta polar bears gorillas lapins. Whatever, big bunny bears. And a big wooly hippo! Did... Did Dalton just turn into a loving bull?

Wait, Dalton's not a bull anymore? Did I miss something?? I'm pretty sure he was a bull... Oh, turns out he wasn't a bull, he was a Bison! Another fruit user! Fruit eater? Either way, it's cool! And now there's a loving avalanche.

And now there's a snow surfing fight with the lapins, hell yeah. Aww, Luffy saved the little lapin's parent, how sweet.

More cover stories, will we get to see Jango's bare face???? Anyways, the lapins are helping Luffy! Man, Luffy's been climbing a sheer wall for 3 hours, that's some serious poo poo. Gunna suck if he's climbing up the wrong one. Oh good, it's the right one, but then Luffy fuckin passes out cus of course he does. AND THE CLIFF IS FALL-oh, chopper(?) saved him. Chopper is much burlier than I remember, though.

JANGOS EYES ARE HEARTS AAAAAAAAAAAA- lmao oh my god the panel of Vivi dragging Usopp by the nose is the funniest poo poo. Y'know, I'm starting to notice how the art has improved lately. I know I've still got like eight hundred chapters to go still, I'm looking forward to how well it improves going forward! Oh hey Zoro's back. "I saw some fish swimming in the freezing river so I thought it'd be cool to chase after it." man, when I first met Zoro I thought he'd be a generic serious swordsman guy, but he is just as goofy as the rest of the gang. Anyways, here's the cute little chopper I know from media osmosis. Hahahaha wow, they actually poked fun at Nami being in her bra back on Dino Island. Oh, Chopper ate the people people fruit. Of course!

I never understand people who say they don't like One Piece's art, but I guess it's so heavily stylistic that there's bound to be some who don't like it. It's one of my absolute favorite properties when it comes to character designs.

Wonder what that means for Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt. It seems to be jungle so it's probably tropical and thus doesn't really fit into the four-seasons thing.

(also I just got the joke that Amazon Lily is tropical like the real world Amazon while also inhabited by warrior women like the mythical Amazon)

Thing is with Zoro is that, out of all of the crew, he probably has the most in common with Luffy, and originally bonds with him specifically because they have a similar mindset and respect each others' goals completely.

The One Piece Wiki says Little Garden is classed as a "prehistoric island" but I can't find any source for that so I'm pretty sure it's just the wiki editors filling in the blanks with their own canon. Spring Island makes the most sense to me.

Oh! I can actually help with this! Vivi described it as a prehistoric island, saying that it was so separated from other islands that it has its own unique history and development.

I was thinking about that recently. You don't see too many close interactions between Luffy and Zoro, but they always seem to respect each other greatly. A big part of it is that they both have monstrous strength that they respect, but they also have a similar attraction to danger and fighting. If not for Luffy, Zoro could have easily become the captain of a crew himself. Definitely parallels the relationship between Roger and Rayleigh.

Yeah Zoro was pretty eager to face off against Luffy in Baroque Works to get him to calm down, but he's also the one who takes Luffy's status as captain the most seriously among the crew, I think.

He's the one who was against Usopp being allowed to return until he apologized, cause just accepting him back willynilly would mess up with the crew morals and poo poo.

He was fully willing to give up on his dream of being the World's Greatest Swordsman to save Luffy's live, placing Luffy's dream before his own.

He's also the one who told Luffy that they all needed to get their poo poo together in Punk Hazard (Zoro lost to the Yeti Cool Bros and Luffy to Caesar despite them far outclassing their opponents).

They both got leadership qualities, but Luffy is more the type that gathers and inspires people (you know, a hero), while Zoro is the type that gives commands and keeps them in line, I'd think? Like, during Dressarosa, Zoro was the one commanding some of the dudes who'd later become part of the Straw Hat Armada while Luffy was out there beating Dofflamingo, and while the Armada pledged themselves to Luffy, it was Zoro who drank the sake while everyone was looking away. Probably just cause the dude likes his alcohol, but I do feel like it is sorta symbolic.

Up until Luffy got his bounty from beating Arlong, people focused more of Zoro than Luffy at first, since he was the only famous member of the crew. Even during Baroque Works, the BW members thought Zoro was the true leader. And then we get stuff like a Supernova (I think Uroge?) being in awe at the fact that someone of Zoro's caliber is serving under someone after watching him attempt to cut a Celestial Dragon.

Also fun is that both Luffy and Zoro don't wanna be heroes for similar reasons - they don't wanna share their meat/alcohol. Which shows you they actually have pretty similar thought processes. Though I guess Luffy has shared food as of Wanokuni.

Chapter 140 "Castle-dwelling Snow"

Why is everyone so surprised that the castle is cold and snowy? It's in a fuckin tundra. Aww, Chopper's backstory ss real sad. It'll be funny if Sanji and Luffy are so dumb they think of him as a regular reindeer, thus making him feel accepted. Oh, I guess Luffy just thinks a talking reindeer monster is cool, that definitely is very Luffy.

Oops, Jango accidentally entered a dance contest, I hate it when that happens. I want a full manga of Chopper and Hiluluk just going on misadventures around town, "healing" people and getting into trouble.

I'm so emotional over Chopper's backstory, I don't have much to add. It's really good!! Chopper is very precious and much less of an rear end in a top hat than I thought he'd be. He went out and found the mushroom!

There's so much talk of these MD-20s, I wonder what they're like. Obviously they're doctors, but are they like, military doctors? I dunno... Oh... Oh no, the mushroom... It had a skull and crossbones next to it... :ohdear:

Oh, there are the MD-20s. I guess they're just pink military doctors. "A man only dies when he is forgotten." good words, Hiluluk. I really like him, which makes this story extra sad. Also makes me want adventures of Hiluluk and Chopper even more.

Holy poo poo the two page spread punch is SO GOOD

That chapter ruled. Act 2 is strong so far, and I can't wait for the Impel Down 2.0 breakout with Caribou. I love how the title arcs always end up being relevant somehow.

Who the hell is in that cage? I wanna say X Drake but why wouldn't they put him in seastone handcuffs instead? I'm thinking it must be a strong non-DF user, maybe that Whitebeard Jr. guy.
